Hello All,
Welcome to my final blog post. All future postings regarding the Como Turntable will be on the narrow gauge discussion forum. ngdiscussion.net
Food build is a conceptually good project however the work load was not equally shared between the design and construction teams. The design teams seemed to have a dramatically higher workload than the construction teams.
I learned a lot in this class however a lot of the stuff we learned won't really make sense until we try to apply it. Practical on the job training is more applicable in this context in my opinion. However with that in mind food build is a good way to apply these principles. If there could be a way to balance the workload that would be more appreciated.
From what I've learned from people older and wiser than me, unless you're locked in a room doing design work and sliding your drawings under the door you will need to be able to interact with people of various backgrounds and disciplines. I wish that the school offered more accounting, law, and non technical communications classes to enable us the students to speak more than engineer.
Signing off for the final time,
Leighton
